Try camping instead.

I'm trying to figure out is your are happy or not happy she likes the Moody Blues?

Personally I'm a bit meh! My wife likes them, and I often have to endure them on long car journeys with her in the car, but I'm OK with that.

Not happy. Once you’ve ridden the see-saw most of their stuff is pretentious twaddle IMHO. My neighbor played an album of theirs recently and that’s what has led to more and more requests from the wife for some Moody Blues. Having had 100% control of the turntable for 18 years of marriage , dropping to 99% is painful.

On a related note of things that annoy me, we have a number of decent small music venues within 20 miles of us but these days they almost always have tribute bands. Where are the new bands?
Riffing back to the Moody Blues, Justin Hayward has a solo act coming around to one of these clubs. How on earth is he going to re-create a passable Moody Blues sound on his own without ten trucks full of gear?

For your next long trip, dig out Mott The Hoople’s Greatest Hits.....

That's a good point, it is basically the same here. All the Concerts in the Parks they have are tribute bands with smart arse names.

Some times they have a bunch of old fogies playing jazz, but never anyone young and new doing their own stuff.

All the young dudes must be doing their Honaloochie Boogie All the Way from Memphis...

Yup - roll away the stone. Ian Hunter lives around here but he has not yet bumped into me. Lucky guy....

We did have Eric Burdon (the real one) and the Animals play in a park near us about a year ago. I think they rolled him on stage and he sang House of the Rising Sun, and they wheeled him off... We could hear it in our back yard so can't vouch for the quality. Not sure I heard any other song.

I just saw Mick Ronson died in 1974... I will have to post that on the "I didn't know they were dead" thread. If I did know (which seems likely I should have), I had certainly forgotten!

Driving down a surface street minding your own business when the car in front kicks up a rock which slams into the grill and hood/bonnet of your new car which is less 3 weeks old and less than 300 miles on the clock.

I was scared to look at it, and sure enough nice nicks in the plastic grill and chips/scratches in the paint work. Very pissed off! Looks like a couple of grand to fix it to me.

Drove my previous car for 17 years and this never happened once...

I did my head in going round and round trying to decide. It came down to comfort and ride in the end. I did a lot of research (Car & Driver, Edmund's, Kelly Blue Book etc,) and all had this as the best and quietest ride of this genre.

The roads are so shit here that I was looking for something that you didn't feel every bump in the road.

It's a little bigger than I need, and that does still bother me somewhat. But hey... too late now.

After driving any vehicle for 17 years, anything I got was going to freak me out. Lots of little things are annoying be about it, but it's just change which I'm not good with.

Glad you're happy with it!
I have a Kia Sportage here, primarily it was the most spacious, best equipped I could find on the budget I had. I would have preferred to get another CX5 but they were just too expensive to justify. As it turns out I am happy with the Kia. It does everything I ask it to, including some pretty tough drives in to the mountains.

bubbs11 10-08-2018 04:56 AM

Talking of cars...people that think it’s acceptable to sing along to songs in the car when they’re in company.

Mrs Bubbs does it all the time and this last 6 weeks we’ve spent a lot of time driving together and it’s getting to the point I’m fantasising about having an ejector seat fitted.

I’m a musical fellow and like to listen and absorb a song, but all I get to hear is Mrs Bubbs (who’s not so musical) warbling over and ruining song after song. She also does that thing where she doesn’t know most of the lyrics yet still attempts to sing them, starting off with the wrong words then changing them mid word when she realises it’s wrong. Arghhhh!

My older brother had the same infuriating habit when I used to be a passenger in his car in our younger days. Problem is I’m too bloody polite to ever say anything. Don’t want to ruin their obvious over enthusiastic enjoyment and burst their tone less bubbles.

Yep.... Mrs. Hog is the same. She thinks she has a good voice. I'm tone deaf and don't know good from bad, but I can assure her she does not have a good voice.

Also she will be at home listening to something on headphones and suddenly burst into song... chalk on a blackboard comes to mind!

That's the point CT... at the moment I'm still in buyers remorse. I'm not sure I am happy with it.

To get the discussion back to things that annoy you:

typically shitier here: 3 years or 100,000 kms

probably got something to do with the state of the roads and the likes of me who charge around on dirt roads at 10,000+ ft in the mountains.

Must admit the Kia was not on my shortlist.... may be it should have been.

No it shouldn't. Not with your budget H.

I'm sure it will grow on you

Mrs Bubbs does it all the time and this last 6 weeks we’ve spent a lot of time driving together and it’s getting to the point I’m fantasising about having an ejector seat fitted.

I’m a musical fellow and like to listen and absorb a song, but all I get to hear is Mrs Bubbs (who’s not so musical) warbling over and ruining song after song. She also does that thing where she doesn’t know most of the lyrics yet still attempts to sing them, starting off with the wrong words then changing them mid word when she realises it’s wrong. Arghhhh!

My older brother had the same infuriating habit when I used to be a passenger in his car in our younger days. Problem is I’m too bloody polite to ever say anything. Don’t want to ruin their obvious over enthusiastic enjoyment and burst their tone less bubbles.

Ican beat that,my 13yr old daughter humming in the car....its the single most aggravating thing ever.

We have a similar thing over volume. I like to play music quite loudly, whereas the rest of them want it quiet 'so we can talk'. Thats the reason i want to play it loudly.

The Vue cinema in the town where I live is quite big (over 10 screens) and they now charge £4.99 for any film at any time, with the exception of Mondays where it's £3.99 for any film. I wonder if a cinema price war is brewing? Prices of £12+ seem a bit daft.

Just booked for the Vue instead, funnily enough. Tenner for under-12s at Odeon. Who’s paying that?

Lawyers from opposing sides of the argument who cosily chatting amongst themselves about a resolution, and you only find out about it in court when they are addressing the Sheriff (The judge) when they put in a joint request to defer a case.


Would have been nice if my lawyer had consulted with me about it first :mad:

Deleting movies you have downloaded from itunes onto an ipad. Thought these things are supposed to be intuitive not having to resort to google and go settings >general> storage bollocky bollocks etc just to delete a ******* film. Press film hold delete was the old way ******* software developer w4nkers.

Spending an hour fighting with Outlook because it's not connecting, fighting passwords, settings and routers, only to find out the problem was at their end. (Some kind of update going on).

Hedgehog 10-08-2018 06:19 PM

I'm not sure it is annoying, more of a "don't understand"...

When you order something from Amazon that cost $2.75 and cost $5.75 to mail, it then takes over a week to get delivered. Following the tracking it appears to be doing a tour of The US stopping at every UPS outpost.

It would seem to me that this is more expensive than trowing it in with the overnight items that get put on a plane and show up the next day. The cost of all that handling across the country has to be comparable to the less handling via the plane.

I've also seen it where they seem to hold a package at the local depot, almost appearing to make sure you don't get it prior to the promised delivery date.

Always strikes me as odd, but I guess UPS/FedEx know what they are doing better than me!
